Tagged for copy-editing

Quick note to say that I tagged this for copy-editing - something I don't have time to do myself. I think the style needs tightening up in places and there are a few sentences that could do with an editorial rethink. For example, "He had a weekend gardening job for Mrs. Pumphrey" (who is Mrs Pumphrey?); the one about Dan Pearson's partner ("According to a radio broadcast interview with Kirsty Young on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, Dan Pearson has a partner called Huw, whom he has known since the 1990s.") reads (IMHO) a bit like prurient gossip, rather than encyclopedic fact (objectively documented: http://digdelve.com/about/). More broadly, I'm not sure Dan Pearson's importance quite comes across from this article as it stands: he is a world-class garden designer (with an international reputation), but the text as it stands doesn't really reflect that ("He had a weekend gardening job for Mrs. Pumphrey"). Just a few hopefully constructive suggestions that I hope future editors will be able to pick up and sort out. Thanks! 82.71.0.229 (talk) 09:53, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
